"Deathtrap" is praised as a fun and twisty thriller with engaging plot twists. Reviewers enjoyed the suspenseful storyline involving a playwright, his student, and a murder plot. The film's unexpected developments and a standout scene featuring a character's surprising return were highlighted.
I love the dark tone, the clever plot twists, and exceptional acting. Michael Caine’s performance was superb.
Fun twisty thriller. My favorite scene was the young student coming back to life.A once great playwright conspires with a student/lover of his to kill his wife for her money. They later fight each other after the student wants to write a play about their murder. They kill each other and a neighbor lady (who is psychic) witnesses it all and writes her own play about the ordeal. Credits roll.
A totally fun “perfect murder” thriller that just keeps twisting.
